    Seems like republicans are boxed in. If they block an immigration bill because they want to deny Biden a win their complaining about the border will lose most of it’s impact as an issue based on massive hypocrisy. If they pass legislation, it helps Biden. Guess they have to hope for voters short memories. Democrats need a spokesman on republican immigration hypocrisy.

      Since when do Republicans care about hypocrisy? Mitch might be acting as the voice of reason today, but he was the one who refused to let Obama’s last SC pick even have a vote, because he knew it would pass, while rushing Trump’s last pick through before the election.

        The man purposefully sending the fed to cut razer wire at dangerous points; that Texas already had the OK to keep up and so put them back up … And Biden has now caused just about twenty seven other state governors to back Texas in defending itself against illegals … Isn’t interested in a damn actual deal.

        That ““DEAL”” Your Democrats want is solely to fund Ukraine and Israel and, ‘diminishes’ The entry of illegals down to 5,000 a day. There’s no compromise here and it is why the Republicans won’t take it.

        You lot are severely delusional if you think Biden and least of all the Democratic party, want any sort of actual deal. The hypocrisy lies with the left.

            They’re kinda proving the point that the GOP reps can get away with the massive hypocrisy, though.

              Yeah the republican voter base is so comically and painfully stupid that it quite literally does not matter what happens, the democrats will be bad.

              Even if Biden actually “shuts down” the border, they’ll still be mad and still hate him

          This is incorrect

          The supreme court, the one that just overturned Roe v. Wade? That one. Told Texas, that they could not have the razor wire in the water.

          That ““DEAL”” Your Democrats want is solely to fund Ukraine and Israel and, ‘diminishes’ The entry of illegals down to 5,000 a day. There’s no compromise here and it is why the Republicans won’t take it.

          What compromise do Republicans want? I say a 50% cut in immigration and giving agents more tools is an improvement to our old system.

            Does it bother you that white supremacists would agree?

              Unless we are going to go purge style on nazis?

              Right.

              Well if we aren’t up for that, we might as well work together to address common issues.

              Mainly that asylum seekers are traveling to get to America to find a broken system. We can blame on each other, and finger point, but this system broken because of a lack of compromise.

              And it isn’t like we can’t just twist the nobs of power to allow more immigrants later on once we have more stable footing, a wider majority, and a better designed immigration system.
